Exchange of CPU in Redundant Configuration
To exchange a halted processor unit:
1.
Disconnect the RCU Link Cable optical ModuleBus cable from the
processor unit to be exchanged
.
2.
Disconnect the Power Supply Socket from the processor unit.
3. Using a blade screwdriver, release the two spring-loaded captive screws
on the processor unit cover.
4. Carefully remove the processor unit.
5. Fit the new processor unit and tighten the screws.
1. To configure a replaced communication interface, a fast reset of the controller must be done. For I/O units
connected to the communication interface, channels will be set to the predetermined value configured by the
user (OSP values) until the communication interface is configured.
Do not, under any circumstance, remove the RCU Link Cable from the
primary CPU now running in single state. Removing the cable might cause
the CPU to stop.
